 “If you recruit a thousand of your earliest supporters and champions and customers, as investors and owners of the business, they're going to be more loyal customers and more passionate brand ambassadors. And that is going to do good things for your revenue and help you win as a company and thrive over the coming years.” 

-Jonny Price

 

Episode Description:

Most people believe that investmenting is only for the rich and famous. That used to be the case; however, today doors have opened for fundraising and investment opportunities for the average investor.  Wefunder is a Public Benefit Corporation that focuses on small businesses, startups, and the public. Their mission is to fix capitalism and help founders take their shot. With as little as $100 dollars, a person can invest in a company he or she believes in and contribute to a greater good. To date, Wefunder has 1,367,945 angel investors and over $5 billion raised in venture capital. 

 

This episode is aimed at under-represented founders and entrepreneurs, who face prejudice in the industry because of status, ethnicity, gender, and a myriad of other reasons. Join Justine and Jonny Price, the VP of Fundraising at Wefunder as they walk you through the mission of the company, who can raise money through it, the restrictions and limitations that are present- and how you can benefit from it. Investing and fundraising is hard work- and often risky- but for an entrepreneur with a burning passion and a noble cause everything can be conquered. Tune in as Jonny shares THREE THINGS THAT CAN DETERMINE YOUR SUCCESS!
